To find recent trends and issues in your topic area, it's a good idea to start out reading some review articles. These are secondary sources that discuss a number of other articles. Review articles do not report on research recently conducted by the author.
To search for review articles, include the word "review" in your search terms, e.g., [review arsenic pollution water].
See the Boolean Searching Video in the box below for instructions on how to search in these databases.
If the video below is gray, sign into Microsoft Stream with your EUID and password.
When doing your basic search, select the Web of Science Core Collection. When you identify an article you want, remember to look for the green FIND IT button on the results screen to check whether the library has the full text article. Please contact me if you have questions, about using the Web of Science database.
Web of Science directly exports to the reference manager, RefWorks. All UNT students can get a RefWorks account free of charge. Please contact Erin O'Toole at erin.otoole@unt.edu if you have questions about starting your account.
